Kingston K-14 School District

Congratulations to our Senior Softball Players!

🌟 Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 🌟 This week, we proudly celebrate the incredible educators of the Kingston School District—the heart and soul of our schools. Every day, you pour your time, energy, and passion into shaping the future, one student at a time. Your dedication goes far beyond the classroom—you inspire curiosity, encourage growth, and nurture resilience in ways that change lives forever. To our teachers: Thank you for believing in our students, even when they don’t yet believe in themselves. Thank you for showing up—day after day—with patience, creativity, and compassion. Thank you for being mentors, motivators, role models, and heroes. Your impact is immeasurable, and your work does not go unnoticed. You make Kingston stronger, kinder, and smarter. We are endlessly grateful for all you do. 👏 Let’s give a standing ovation to our teachers—not just this week, but every week! 👏

🍎✨ Today we celebrate our incredible School Food Service Workers for Food Service Hero Day! ✨🍽️ These everyday heroes start before the sun comes up, work tirelessly behind the scenes, and serve up more than just meals—they deliver care, kindness, and consistency to our students each and every day. From prepping breakfast to making sure lunch runs smoothly, they are the heartbeat of our school day. We truly could not do it without them. Thank you for nourishing minds and bodies with such dedication. 💪❤️ Please take a moment today to say thank you and show some love to these amazing members of our school family! 👩‍🍳👩🏾‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳

Tonight in Kingston Sports: ***CANCELLED*** The JH Home baseball game vs West County has been cancelled due to unplayable field conditions. ***PUSHED BACK*** The HS Baseball game at West County has been pushed back to a 6:00 start. They had tarped their field, making it playable. This will be varsity only. Good luck, Cougars!

We have experienced a water issue at our Elementary/Primary campus with discolored water intermittently coming out of our faucets. We are providing students bottled water to drink and are serving meals that do not require us to rinse or cook in water for the time being. We have a commercial well company investigating the issue. We have been in contact with the Health Department and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources multiple times in order to keep them updated on the situation and have been assured that we are doing what needs to be done for safety, which is similar to what would be done in the case of a water main break and boil order. If anything changes, we will keep the community updated.

Today in Kingston Sports: ****CANCELLED*** The JH Baseball game at Valley scheduled for tonight has been cancelled due to unplayable field conditions. Our Softball team continues in the MAAA Tournament today vs Potosi at 1:30 at MAC. $5 for adults, $3 for students. Our HS Baseball team is HOME vs Bismarck, 4:30 start, one game only. Good luck today, Cougars!
